Clutching a drink and showing off some moves on the dancefloor may be a distant memory for some but so are many of the venues which hosted those party nights.

For many, going to nightclubs might have been a regular Friday night thing to welcome the weekend after a week at work, while others may have celebrated milestone birthdays in one.

Today, we look back at a few of Scunthorpe's lost nightclubs and bars from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s which have since closed their doors, been demolished or been transformed into something different.

From Henry Afrika's to Club 2000, plenty will have their favourites but which did you enjoy going to most? Which venues played the best music and which of the fashion trends can you remember?

Henry Afrika’s

Henry Afrika's dominated Scunthorpe's nightscene in the 1990s and 2000s

If you ask anyone over the age of 30 about nightlife in Scunthorpe and this is likely to be the first place that they mention.

Henry Afrika’s was the place to be in the 1990s, dominating Scunthorpe’s nightlife.

You could easily have spent all night, drinking and dancing the night away in the venue, as they held regular events on Friday and Saturday nights.

It was also known as Time, before changing its name to Love2Love and Studio 25 for a while during the 2000s.

The club closed in January 2011 but reopened three months later as Henry's, although it shut its doors for the final time in November 2014 and was demolished in early 2015.

Club 2000

Memories of Club 2000, which was in Church Square in Scunthorpe

And if you weren’t going to Henry Africa's then this was probably the place you would go. They even had a minibus service going from Henry Africa's to Club 2000 - because who wants to walk that far after a few drinks!

The club was opened in Church Square in time for the turn of the millennium.

Open until very late, Club 2k was the place where you would always end up at after a few drinks around town.

It was later known as Options but closed in 2006, with an increase in competition and new licensing laws blamed for the closure.
